lyrics

I'm getting closer to the fact
I've turned my back on silly dreams
I'm walking down that lonely road
And my heavy load, I didn't bother to bring it

And the sun shines down on me
I feel like I deserve it
When the sun shines down

I'm hiding out where you can't see
Behind the wall in the back of the room
I'm crawling slowly through the dark
And feeling for a punch line

And the sun shines down
I want to feel like I deserve it
When the sun shines down

I'm walking down that empty road
But it ain't empty now, because I'm on it
I'm getting closer to a hope
That I can carry and take home with me

The sun shines down on me
I feel like I have to earn it
The sun shines down

The sun shines down on me
I feel like I deserve it
When the sun shines down

Treppenwitz by Mark Loughrey a good friend of ours released around the same time as our album Eugene came out. A bunch of great musicians feature and there are some weird noises on there too. Buí
